Arms Race for Aerial Superiority: Pre-Game Turn 0 - Gothia
« on: January 11, 2021, 01:33:49 am »

The people of Gothia have toiled in their mountain peak, living in high cathedral style buildings which straddles the peak their Kaiser meets his engineers in secret. He speaks of news that will soon be made to the public. His Air-Marshalls have reported skirmishes with Mercenary Flyers from Sicilia  in the outlying regions around the Green Place. They report that Silicia has been building up forces to make a military takeover of the Green Place, this cannot be allowed to happen. He charges you, his engineers, to come up with a way to give Gothia's pilots an edge in the coming battle.

It is the year 120 After War, Turn 0

You will make 2 designs and a single revision, each team shares the same starting tech as the other. Then the game will start proper as your first two designs are pitted against the other teams. You may design engines, weapons and aircraft. You may also revise your current aircraft.

Quote
Standard Pattern Volley Rifle: A long single barreled muzzle loading rifle favored by air-mail pilots for its reliability firing 8 special 70. lead balls with a hole drilled through them, allowing them to be loaded in back to back with a blackpowder charge in-between them, when the first charge is ignited the flash travels down the hole in the center of the ball igniting the next one allowing all 8 shots with a fire rate of 60 rounds a minute. Cheap + and Small Handheld

Standard Kite Mail-Flyer: A dual seater canvas biplane with an engine mounted in the nose, used by the air-mail service of both nations, crewed by a pilot and navigator. In combat the navigator uses a Volley Rifle kept resting in their lap during flying to attempt to shoot down enemy biplanes while the pilot maneuvers around. Decent maneuverability and speed. Cheap and Plane Sized.

Salvaged Engine: A basic engine running off of any liquid that burns, made from engines parts scavenged from the wastelands and whatever parts can be made with basic hand power tools brought up to the mountain tops from broken factories. Expensive.
